Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    And how well has your strategy of “don’t rock the boat, don’t try anything new” been working out for you there, buddy? How many elections do we need to lose before you realize that you have crap instincts on what makes a candidate electable? In our current electoral landscape, the quickest way to lose an election is to be stupid enough to pick the “safe” candidate.

    I think you may literally be insane. After all, what is insanity but repeating the same action again and again, but expecting a different result?

    I think you personally don’t want a woman president, and you’re hiding behind concerns of electability because it’s not socially acceptable on lemjy to be an overt misogynist.

      I’m not an American, imbecile. But, like many elsewhere in the world, I have watched the rise of racism and misogyny in the US, and if the Dems do not account for that, they will lose yet again. I think you personally have no clue at all, and that you may be a neurotic republican tradwife. After all, offering useless opinions that are plain wrong, hoping for your dream result whilst actually shooting yourself in the foot, is kinda insane, too. Dems have “rocked the boat” with Camilla and Hilary in 2 of the past 3 elections and LOST, in case you didn’t notice. Read a newspaper, Mrs “Scientist” LOL.
